Samantha also discussed her and her late husband’s decision help others pay for IVF to PEOPLE back in 2020.

“We were fortunate to be able to afford IVF treatments but it devastated us to know that for many couples, getting their financial estimate would be the end of the road for them,” she shared at the time.

“In that moment, we knew this struggle was put on us for a special reason. After our son Brexton was born, we started the Bundle of Joy Fund to help other couples become parents by granting them financial grants to alleviate at least some of the financial burdens associated with the IVF process.”

The mom-of-two continued: “Seeing the families we have helped with their babies has helped us to make sense of our own difficult journey to conceive.

“It was worth all the pain, shots, the months of trying and roller coaster of emotions because it gave us the unique perspective of what these couples face and a strong desire to want to help others.”

People were able to pay their respects to Kyle Busch at the Coca-Cola 600 pre-ceremony following his sudden passing last week.

Busch’s family announced on May 21 that the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion had died after a ‘severe illness’.

Busch was in his 22nd full-time season in NASCAR’s top division, where he won two Cup Series titles in 2015 and 2019 as well as 63 races, which put him ninth on the circuit’s all-time win list.

“On behalf of the Busch family, everyone at Richard Childress Racing and all of NASCAR, we are devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Kyle Busch,” a joint statement from the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing, and NASCAR read.

“Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch. A future Hall of Famer, Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans… NASCAR lost a giant of the sport today, far too soon.”

“Every racetrack was Kyle Busch’s home. He competed like he had something to prove every single race, when in reality he had already proven everything,” he said, per Fox News.

“What I think we’ll miss the most isn’t the wins. It’s the guy who quietly wanted to help a teammate, give some advice, the husband, the father, the guy who quietly did thing for others when no one was watching.”
